RTS games on Mac

Amp34 · 1 May 2012 at 21:26

Are there any good RTS games for OSX? I'm looking for games like the "Bridge to Far", "Age of Empires" and Red Alert series but on OSX (and importantly that will run and play well on an Air.

Any suggestions? I've had a look on the app store but it seems to consist of what look like ported iPhone games and higher end games like Total War (which I assume won't run on an Air?).

Thanks

Ah thanks! Now I just need to find somewhere to buy it...

Will it run on integrated GFX?

Any other games like that?

Was about to say Civ V, but then I remembered its turn based /facepalm

I actually like Civ, didn't realise both 4 and 5 were availAble on OSX so will se about getting one of them as well.

I love steam!

I haven't used it in a year or so (haven't really played any games), but I installed it on my Air and found I could download the OSX version of Civ 4, having bought it for windows ages ago.

+1 for steam, -1 for the app store. The way it should be (OS independence). I can install HL2 as well, except I doubt it would play on here and I couldn't be bothered to finish it last time so this time...?

I'm also downloading RA3 Demo to see if it will play, alongside Dynamo Jack... See what that's like.
